Kardia of Rhodes

(Important note: This bit takes place during the medieval times, in a fantasy setting.)

Name: Kardia of Rhodes Gender: Female Affiliation: Order of the Gilded Rose (Mercenary High-Guard) Height: 5'5" Weight: 215 lbs (mostly muscle and heavy plating) Hair Color: Fiery Crimson (often seen as a plume from her helm) Skin Color: Light Eye Color: Amber Gold Armor Style: High-Reflectance "Mirror" Plate Primary Weapon: "The Colossus" (Greatsword) Secondary Weapon: Iron-Piercing Stiletto Combat Specialty: Front-line Vanguard / Heavy Infantry Personality Trait: Fearless and boastful

Appearance: Kardia of Rhodes is a warrior clad in polished, silver-colored plate armor. Her protection includes a rounded breastplate, large shoulder guards, and heavy, segmented plating that covers her legs from the hips down to the knees. Her head is fully enclosed in a sleek metal helmet with a thin eye slit and a decorative diamond pattern of ventilation holes. A bright, flowing plume of orange-red hair or feathers trails from the top of the helmet.

Despite the heavy metal on her limbs, her midsection is left entirely exposed, showing her toned torso. She wears a simple brown leather garment at her waist, secured by a thin belt. To round out her kit, she carries a large sword across her back and a small dagger tucked into the front of her belt. The contrast between the heavy, reflective steel and her unprotected core defines her unique appearance. Her upper body features a narrow back and slender waist that transitions sharply into incredibly wide, voluminous hips and glutes, creating a dramatic hourglass silhouette. Her limbs are equally distinct, with remarkably thick, powerful thighs and a deep, curved lower back.

Bust: 44" (112 cm) Waist: 24" (61 cm) Hips: 72" (183 cm)

Personality: Kardia’s personality is built on a foundation of "clueless confidence." While she is a whirlwind of steel and destruction on the battlefield, her daily life is a series of adorable mishaps and simple pleasures. She has a habit of getting distracted by small, shiny objects—often losing her train of thought mid-sentence because she caught her own reflection in a polished spoon or a nearby puddle. Because she rarely understands the "why" behind a mission, she follows her allies with the loyalty of a golden retriever, usually humming a tuneless little song to herself while her heavy armor clanks rhythmically with every step.

Her vanity is her biggest quirk; she genuinely believes that every dragon, bandit, or rival knight she defeats is simply stunned by how "sparkly" she looks. She often forgets her own strength in social settings, accidentally crushing mugs when she tries to give a friendly toast or breaking doorframes because she forgot how wide her armored hips are. Kardia also has a hilariously short attention span for anything that isn't a fight or a snack. If a commander tries to explain a pincer maneuver, she will likely nod enthusiastically while actually thinking about what kind of pastry she wants to find later.

She is also surprisingly sweet-natured for a mercenary. She’s the type to stop a high-stakes march because she saw a "pretty bug" and wants to show it to everyone, or to spend hours trying to "fix" a broken fence by just leaning her heavy shield against it. Her "bimbo" energy makes her incredibly approachable; she doesn't have a mean bone in her body and assumes everyone she meets is a potential new best friend. To Kardia, the world is a very simple, very bright place where problems are solved by either a big sword or a big smile—usually both.

Weapons: Long sword. Dagger. Shield.
